Berchtesgaden Alps on 15.09.2024 | bergjunge

Snow condition

Amazingly good for September... ;) From about 1000m you can start well, from 1400m it gets really good with >50cm. At higher altitudes there is over a meter in places. However, there are significant drifts, which is why the snow conditions change frequently.

Snow quality

Unfortunately, it was almost exclusively glop and therefore tough and slow to ride. But there were also a few okay turns.

The past few days have brought heavy precipitation and the snow cover is very wet. The strong storm is also causing heavy drifts.

Overall impression

It's cool to be able to go on a ski tour at home in September. The less than ideal conditions are almost a minor matter. It's a shame that fall is still to come. I could already start, the basis would already be laid from the middle altitudes.
